A lot of perspective clients are so nervous about the day of, and not even just about being nakey in front of someone new. I try to make the entire day silly, all about the client and super simple to follow. The last thing I want is for my client to ask me what’s happening next. So, we go over what to expect on the phone and in their day before e-mail too. Keep reading to find out how my sessions flow.
Sessions are held on weekdays, typically Tuesday through Thursday. When you arrive at the studio, I meet you downstairs and walk you up. My on staff stylist are waiting on you upon arrival and we begin hair and makeup. It will take the stylist about an hour to complete your look and during that time I am near by so that we can get to know each other better and decide on outfits for your session. I also have snacks, drinks and bubbly out for you to enjoy during this time.
Petite sessions allow for three outfits and artistic nudes. Now, you might have just gone “OHmygawwwwd. I could never do nudes!”. You’re wrong, I promise! Just look below. :) Full sessions can be up to 10 outfits, sheets and artistic nudes. A petite session typically has at least 30 final images and a full session can have 70 or more.
After makeup and outfit selections are done, we get right to shooting. We shoot for about 45 minutes with a petite session and up to two hours for a full. Depending on how things go, we may not need that much time for either session.
After we are done taking your boudoir photos, I give you time to change back into your street clothes and I get all of your images pulled up and saved. I make the first pass on my own, but you’re able to watch me. I get rid of anything out of focus, repeats, crazy faces (we giggle a lot) and anything I would think unusable in a final gallery.
Then you get to take control. You get to view every single image and choose which ones are your favorite. Don’t worry, I help you the whole time. I have spent years learning how to use light + shadows, how to get the most out of my camera, and how to get the photos I take as close to the final product as possible.
A lot of my clients already know that they want a 10x10 album, the digitals and some wall art and most of the time they pre-pay for those items before their session. When they do that they get free stuff too! Like, a second hair and makeup look, free product, they get to wear my wings or even do a shower set (there’s more!). So we get to work getting our image numbers right for what they are wanting. Sometimes clients choose to upgrade, because there are SO MANY good images!
After the session digital images and prints take about 2 weeks to arrive and albums take about three. I do my best to have a quick turnaround, because who wants to wait!

There’s something about simple sheet boudoir photos; I absolutely love them! A lot of times clients will choose ‘sheets’ as one of their outfits. You can go completely bare, using the sheet to cover. You can wear a simple outfit that matches the sheets, or you can wear your favorite color undies to add a pop of color.
Check out my ‘blush babes’ from March. I’m drooling. :)
Eight women are a part of my monthly model club. A simple sign up fee, monthly sessions and three complimentary images each month. By the end of the year they’ll all have thirty six images with 12 different themes! That’s pretty cool right?
Check out each model below, and tell me who’s outfit you liked the best!

Hailey came to see me near the beginning of January for her first session (yep, she’s already had another one). She booked for a personal reason, one that required her to remember who she is. People book for a lot of reasons. Sometimes it’s because they want to give their partner a gift, sometimes it’s because they are getting married and want to give their new husband an album on their wedding day, sometimes it’s because they just need a pick me up and sometimes it’s because they’ve been through something and they’ve totally lost themselves. Whatever reason you do it for, at the end of the day… it’s really for you. At least it will be when it’s over.
One of the best parts of booking a boudoir session with me is that you get to see your images before you even leave the studio. Everyone loves immediate gratification, and I do it because I know that clients do. But, really I do it because I love to SEE you SEE yourself. EVERY SINGLE WOMAN who sits down with me to see their photos, just as the camera takes them… with NO editing, says “ that’s me?!?!? I look like that? “. We spend so much time focusing on our flaws, we miss our beauty. We have stories, reasons to not like our appearance, reasons we think give us an excuse NOT to love ourselves. If we can just look past them, we’ll fall in love all over again - maybe for the first time - with ourselves. Watching as that happens, that’s worth more than any dollars, worth more than any words I could hear. Seeing you fall in love with you, that’s my favorite part.
What made you choose Blush Studio by Leslie for your boudoir session?
I saw some of Leslie's work on a friend's page and was immediately drawn to it. She does such a great job of capturing the fierceness and beauty of these women. None of her work ever made me think "o that's a little too raunchy", every thought was "hell yea, look at her owning it!"
What were you nervous about going into your session?
EVERYTHING! Lol, would they turn out good? Would I be comfortable doing them? But Leslie is awesome and makes you feel completely at ease!
What was your favorite part of your session experience?
The way I felt while taking them. It really is an empowering feeling. It was so much fun to do!
How do you feel now that you have completed your session and received your images?
I feel more self confident and just fierce in my own skin, dang it! It really helped me to stop being so hard on myself for all my self determined "flaws".
Would you recommend Leslie to other ladies looking to book a boudoir session? Why?
Heck yes! She's awesome at what she does! If you are contemplating it, just stop and DO IT! You won't regret it, as a matter of fact, you'll be ready for session 2 before the first one is ever over.

Rebekha was so much fun to work with! When she booked with me, I knew she was going to be a hoot! She has so many creative ideas, knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to ask for it! I just loved her calm, but direct way of asking for what she wanted.
I could tell she was a little nervous, but she really opened up quickly. She sat down in Dana’s chair while I pulled out the outfit selections she brought in (which were just panties, and you’ll see why). But, she’d put a lot of thought into those panties. We chatted during her makeup and hair preparations, and by the time we were ready to start the session she was ready to roll.
I’m OBSESSED with her gallery. It means the world to me that Rebekha picked me as her boudoir photographer, and I’m happy that I got to help her achieve exactly what she wanted from her boudoir experience.
What made you choose Blush Studio by Leslie for your boudoir session?
I’d been a member of the blush studio group and I loved the pictures!
What were you nervous about going into your session?
Being comfortable...but that became a non issue when I got to meet Leslie and Dana. I was very much comfortable in my own skin.
What was your favorite part of your session experience?
The easy and clear direction you give on posing to create great shots. I am no good at that and that help was the biggest relief!
How do you feel now that you have completed your session and received your images?
Awesome! These pics are dope! I found beauty in my body when I was losing it.
Would you recommend Leslie to other ladies looking to book a boudoir session? Why?
Hell yes, I would! From the moment I walked in, I was accepted, loved, and felt comfort. For me, that's the biggest deal because I suffer from anxiety and depression. That was the greatest experience....surpassed my already high expectations!
